NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Second Quarter 2015 Highlights:
- Revenue increased 30% to $104.4 million
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 24% to $20.7 million
- Non-GAAP Net Income per Diluted Share increased 24% to $0.31
- Revenue per download increased 13% and paid downloads increased 14%
- Image collection expanded 47% to 57.2 million images and 2.9 million video clips
Shutterstock, Inc. (NYSE: SSTK), a leading global provider of commercial imagery and music, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Founder and CEO Jon Oringer said "Shutterstock delivered another quarter of strong growth as the quality, breadth and diversity of our content library, along with unparalleled search functionality, continues to attract more users to our platform. We also took several strategic steps this past quarter to further strengthen our long-term growth profile, most notably expanding our subscription offerings and securing a broad-based editorial partnership with Penske Media. Meeting the evolving needs of the creative community remains our primary focus as we look to create additional value for our customers, contributors and shareholders."
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Revenue
Second quarter revenue of $104.4 million increased $24.1 million or 30% as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to a 13% increase in revenue per download from growth in both on-demand offerings and enterprise sales, as well as a 14% increase in the number of paid downloads, mainly due to new customers. Second quarter results also included contributions from newly acquired businesses PremiumBeat and Rex Features. Excluding contributions from newly acquired businesses and the impact of foreign currency, total Company revenue growth was approximately 27% in the second quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA of $20.7 million increased $4.0 million or 24% as compared to the second quarter of 2014 as the 30% revenue growth was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses primarily from higher royalty costs associated with the increase in paid downloads. Additionally, the second quarter of 2015 included higher personnel and marketing expenses to support growth, as well as operating costs associated with newly acquired businesses. Excluding the contributions from newly acquired businesses and the impact of foreign currency, Adjusted EBITDA growth was approximately 32% in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for other (expense)/income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, disposals and non-cash equity-based compensation.
Net Income
Net income available to common stockholders of $5.3 million ($0.15 per diluted share) for the second quarter increased 10% as compared to $4.9 million ($0.14 per diluted share) in the second quarter a year ago as the improved operating performance was partially offset by an increase in non-cash equity-based compensation expense and amortization of acquisition related intangible assets.
Non-GAAP net income, which excludes the after tax impact of non-cash equity-based compensation, the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets and changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions, was $11.2 million ($0.31 per diluted share) for the second quarter, an increase of 23% as compared to $9.1 million ($0.25 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2014.
Cash
Free cash flow was $14.1 million for the second quarter, a decrease of $3.2 million from the second quarter of 2014 as the improved operating performance was more than offset by working capital fluctuations. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures and content acquisition.
The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short term investments totaled $266.4 million at June 30, 2015 as compared to $288.3 million as of December 31, 2014, primarily reflecting the $40.1 million of cash generated from operations, which was more than offset by cash paid for acquisitions of approximately $65 million. The Company generated $18.6 million of cash from operations in the second quarter of 2015, as compared to $21.2 million generated in the second quarter of 2014.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Shutterstock considers adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow to be important financial indicators of the Company's operational strength and the performance of its business. Shutterstock defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for other (expense)/income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, disposals and non-cash equity-based compensation; non-GAAP net income as net income excluding the after tax impact of non-cash equity-based compensation, the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; and free cash flow as cash provided by/(used in) operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures and content acquisition. These figures are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow should not be construed as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
A reconciliation of the differences between adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow, and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is presented under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" immediately following the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
